I thought some of the most interesting (confusing?) findings in the study were about atheists:
-21% say they believe in God (8% are absolutely certain)
-12% believe in heaven and 10% believe in hell.
-10% pray atleast once a week.
I just don't understand. Seems like some of these beliefs go against the definition of athiesm.
